Budget Tours & Trips to France Reviews
- Paris, Normandy and the Loire
A truly wonderful experience ... what we saw, heard, and did!! The tour guide (Mike) was excellent in all respects. And the driver deserves lots of kudos (safety, comfort, on time).
- Spain, south of France, Burgundy and Alsace (20 destinations)
Scenic, Packed, and Worth It! The French Riviera tour was stunning—so many gorgeous spots packed into a short time! You get to visit places that would be difficult to manage on your own, and the views are absolutely unforgettable. It was a bit hectic with tight schedules, long drives, and limited time at each location, but the guides did their best to keep things organized. With a diverse group of people and different guides across locations, it could feel a bit overwhelming, but the beauty of the Riviera made it all worth it. Highly recommended if you want to see a lot in a short time!
